    I wonder how many of this kit and its gasser cousins, the Anglia and Henry J and Austin have been started and left in the box? Looks good for one of the hardest kits to make look right.

    A photo might help us to fabricate one.

    Olds.

    Snow Cobra

    I want that for this winter!

    Mine is untouched.

    Got one on the shelf. This reminds me I should pull it off the shelf.

    Both the Maverick and Vega would take a lot of new tooling instead of puling out existing molds and crafting new decals. The Jo-Han Maverick was an exceptional kit in its day. The interior tub and chassis would take recreating to fit today's market IF the other molds were to magically appear. MPC did the Vega. That kit would be successful as a nostalgia kit but lacks a lot compared to a modern kit. The best thing would be to retool and start over. The body is the only item that meets today's standards. I'd love to have the gassers and the pro stocks. I'd also love the winning lottery ticket.

    It has held up quite well. AS for the screen, it looks pretty accurate for the nets that were being used at that time. It captures the real car well.

    I really wish Round2 would bring this one back.

    1/16 scale? Are you going to sell these? If so, I'm interested.

    This actually looks like a race car. Most models of this car look like models.

    The McEwen photos at https://www.dragracermag.com/features/feature-tom-the-mongoose-mcewens-tirend-top-fueler-part-2/ shows the car much closer to the Garlits chassis than I remember. Still I wish they'd tool up new panels for the Ivo FE car. The old Garlits body always struck me as wrong. It looks too heavy. Also the rear of the chassis is wrong. Its fixable but it will take a couple of hours.

    The question everyone has......how did you prevent the tape from lifting the paint?

    Now the photos show.....they're worth the wait.

    Here's exactly what you're dreaming of.

    I don't have them from page 1 and 2. Those on page 4 are very educational.

    I wish all the photos were still here. Looks like a very interesting build.

    Go for it!

    I remember this.......you really need to do an article on making a body out of aluminum. (inside joke from an old SLMer.)

    Oh yeah.....what I don't see are rough paint separation lines. Very nice. Your result is much better than I'd hope for.

    Guess my original issue Super Trailer has no value now.

    Pictures would allow it to possibly be recreated.
  23. iBorg
    Do you have any pictures of it?

    How you're doing this in plastic amazes me. The parts are very clean in fabrication and there's absolutely no glue. It will be almost a shame to paint it.

    Just stumbled upon this build. I've always overlooked this kit. Now I won't. It looks nice in silver. It looks like its going to be killer when finished. I'm curious as to how well the lines of tape pull up. I've seen several build ups of amazing paint and your pictures shoe me how to create them. This has the potential to be an absolutely killer build.
